Decanter Cleaning

Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter.
Coffee and tea discolor these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish
stain inside the decanter. To remove these stains, follow these simple
steps:
1. Use a hot white vinegar solution and let it soak.
2. Let it stand for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3. Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use
harsh abrasive cleaners. These will cause scratches which can lead
to breakage.
